Exhibition In Qatar Throws Spotlight On World Cartooning

There's a small report up here on a political cartooning exhibition in Qatar and thus about political cartooning in general. I'm never sure how much credence to give statements made in those sorts of pieces; there's something being sold, if only the legitimacy and importance of the show itself. Still, I'm taken with the notion that political cartooning has benefited in some way, if only in stature, by the incessant attacks against it since about 2000. If nothing else, it's a bracing tonic through which to interpret the more careerist struggles of North American image makers.
